AIDS lecture November 9, 1988 17/7 No Time For Ignorance The AIDS Crisis By C. Everett Koop, MD, ScD Of the U.S. Public Health Service U.S. Department of Health and Human Service Presented to the Cumberland Regional Constituent School Districts Seabrook, NJ November 9, 1988 It had been nineteen days since I had last spoken to a public audience on the subject of AIDS. This audience was essentially a lay audience, but nevertheless one that needed to know as much as possible about AIDS, because of the educational challenge to children of all ages in the several school districts represented. I chose therefore, to give the same talk that I had given before. The user of this archive is referred therefore to the front sheets of lectures given on, September 2, 1988, to the Christian College Coalition in Washington, DC and on October 21, 1987, at the St. Francis Center in Washington, DC. Except for bringing statistics up to date as I talked, there is nothing new in this lecture and it was not distributed to the public as a new lecture. (See elsewhere for index words.)
